Welcome to Year One! Our topic for this half term is 'The Seaside.' We will be writing our own stories about pirates, researching sea creatures and finding out about New Brighton in the past. We will be comparing the British seaside to abroad and creating porthole pictures using a variety of art techniques.  

The children are working extrememly hard in phonics.  They are enjoying lots of games to help them to read real and nonsense words. Use the link below to access some of these games:

Reading

The children need to bring their book bag to school everyday and read at home as frequently as possible.  All of the children have a high frequency word book to practise recognising common words. Your child's Bug Club login is at the front of their reading record and will give them access to a range of additional books at their reading level.

Mathematics

Here are links to some great websites, where the children can practise the skills that they have learnt in school.
